Hummingbirds must move their wings at incredibly fast speeds because they fly differently than other birds. Hummingbirds must hover in one place while feeding -- something other birds cannot do by simply flapping their wings up and down (which moves the bird up, rather than keeps it in place). In order to do this, hummingbirds move their wings in a reverse figure-8 pattern, which provides a lift counterbalanced by a downdraft. The average wingbeat of a Ruby-throated hummingbird (one of the most common in North America) is over 50 beats per minute!
They flap their wings so much so they can hover in front of flowers and get nectar without actually landing.
No. Hummingbirds have been estimated to flap their wings 60-80 times per second, depending on whether they are flying or hovering.

Their wings beat (flap) so fast, they make a noise that sounds like humming. It's a bit like a higher note version of a bee buzzing.
Hummingbirds flap there wings so fast because they just do. Moriah
Well I can tell you that the average Humming Bird Can flap its wings 50-53 flaps a second so if you times that many flaps to the hour you'll get your answer.
Humming birds are small and usually very colorful. They have long thing beaks to get into small flowers. They fly backwards very quickly and can be watched for no more then mere seconds. They like sugar water.
A humming bird flaps it's wings 12-90 times a second.
Humming birds are tiny little birds that hang around flowers. They have wings that flap extremley fast and usually are don't have any color.
Long, narrow bills for feeding on flowers, and small bodies with wings that flap fast enough and provide thrust in both directions to allow the bird to hover.
they flap wings
Yes birds can flap there wings
The hummingbird's wings is special because the humming birds wings are the only wings that can rotate backward. Macking the Hummingbird the only bird that can fly backward. They can also flap their wings 15-200 times per second.;)
that would be the wings, like all flying insects that make a buzzing sound.

The Humming bird. They can flap their wings from 12 to 80 times per second creating a buzzing or humming sound like bees.
